No German occupying forces in Syria!

It was the Germans' work that Lebanon was handed over without protection to the invasion by its southern neighbour, which is equipped with an international hunting licence: Germany sending a certain Mehlis there, whose moral stature can be diagnosed by his only replying to justified reproaches of torture with stroppy tit-for-tat retorts, to provoke Syria, enabled the planned international blackmail of Syria into withdrawing its protecting troops from Lebanon; that the fanatically religious Hisbollah, whose irregulars can in no way replace the troops of a stable state, eagerly jumped into the gap created by this can hardly be blamed on the Lebanese or the Palestinians, whose at least somewhat enlightened Al-Fatah was only replaced by the fanatical Hamas in terms of local favour after Israel had chronically and for its part fanatically humiliated it (see, for example, the treatment of the Palestinian President Arafat by Israel's troops). And now it looks as if our shaken and plundered state (»solidarity surcharge«, eh?) is going to replace the Israelis as occupiers and near-future invaders of the real target, the Syrian neighbours.
     German occupying forces are already suppressing several countries for the benefit of the USA – Serbia and Afghanistan are the most well known victims, and the most expensive for the perpetrators. Since the USA has, to its own surprise, got cold feet in Iraq and gorged itself militarily there, it is now foisting its real plan to subsequently destroy and occupy Syria onto its vassals. It is clear that the next ones who will have to do the dirty work for the mono-imperialism under the pretext of the Israeli attack on the relatively insignificant Lebanon are us, after no soldiers but a lot of money (»solidarity surcharge«) was forced out of us for the violation of international law carried out on Iraq, which has since been manifesting itself in our chronic deprivation and impoverishment. Now, in the next round, this is to be replaced for psychological reasons by mercenaries (professional soldiers), who, as part of the contingent of an invading army, are still cheaper than its entire financing by a new wave of robbery carried out by the German colonial administration on its »citizens«, since this could, on account of the too little distance to the last wave of robbery even in their lethargic and oppressed brains, provoke too much unrest; they still require a few years to get used to their new low standard of living so that they will still vote for their robbers and rapists and cross and shit themselves in the face of »enemies of the constitution«.
     But one does not need to belong to the group of rabbits dazed by the fiscal headlights that is blind and deaf to each wrong that is legitimised in advance by the crosses they have been trained to make on the ballot sheet. If our parliament, after a lot of confusing games, toing and froing and media lies finally decides to give the go-ahead to a German invasion of Syria, a country that has done nothing to us but on the contrary has always been friendly towards us, then we say:

And anyone can support this declaration. (How disgusting are the people who are unable to get this sentence out but instead blur the difference between perpetrator and victim by hanging a rainbow-coloured PACE out of their windows?! But that's just an aside.)
     So far, we have rarely made any statements on the Israel-Palestine conflict (but see KETZERBRIEFE No. 23 [also as English version: »Special Edition on the Second Gulf War«] and No. 127) because it is only a war by proxy. It differs from other wars by proxy such as »Croatia« and other remnants of Yugoslavia against Serbia in that the patrons of the stronger representative have not themselves appeared on the battlefield (but they are always present in Israel in the form of US weapons and weapons technology). This allows both sides and even less intelligent observers (or voluntarily blind ones, such as anti-Semites) to regard the conflict as independent. In reality, Israel would not be able to hold out for six days without support from the US, for all its bravery and technology; the US vetoes in the UN alone have consistently been beneficial to its status. No matter whether you are for or against Israel, and for whatever reasons, this factual basis is indisputable.
     But why does the USA support Israel so staunchly? – In order to make it dependent. – And why are they so keen on that? – Because no other state in that region with intelligent inhabitants is so easy to make so completely dependent. Israel's people are Jewish, of course, i.e. they belong to that small and rightly proud religion whose continued existence in spite of all attacks and tortures from both Christians and Moslems, i.e. those two offspring of Judaism that are large but mutated and lastingly contaminated in different ways by alien elements, is strongly objected to by them – and the Jews are right and they are wrong in dogmatic terms (Jesus is really not the Messiah that is promised in the Bible, otherwise he would have crucified Pontius Pilate and not vice versa – the only serious task the Messiah has, as the Bible untiringly urges and which therefore does not fit in with the New Testament, is the restoration of Jewish sovereignty and from there, by way of »infection«, of all other suppressed peoples, thus making wars superfluous – for example, there is nothing else behind the much quoted but little understood expression of »making swords into plough-blades«. And the Holy Scriptures of the Jews and Christians were in no way falsified to the extent that the Koran could have been the original; on the contrary, Mohammed puts all kinds of rubbish into it – for example, he states that Jesus was Moses' nephew – his mother and Moses' sister have the same name in Arabic – which creates absurd chronological problems, and also switches the two sons of Abraham in favour of his own Arab people. Anyone who considers this mythology unimportant is forgetting its immense historical effect). But with the Jews, a powerless religion is in the right as opposed to two over-powerful ones – the weak against the strong, the very few against the very many, why the hell should you… in other words, this generates hate in base souls, which are, unfortunately, usually the majority and nearly always have overt or covert support from those in power. This is why the Jews have been the number one objects of hate and scapegoats for both Christians and Moslems for thousands of years, but also the symbol become flesh of dignity in weakness for the very tiny better part of humanity. The last of these points explains a certain part of the »advance sympathy« that Israel enjoys, for right or wrong and therefore as a kind of prejudice, in many countries; but a much greater part of this stems from a much murkier source, i.e. that the existence of Israel also means a more or less Jew-free Europe, which therefore effectively guarantees, albeit indirectly, the realisation of one of the goals of the Christian Hitler. This also explains why there is a total lack of this sympathy in the Arab region: because Israel is situated in a prominent position of what had been a part of this region since the early times of the conquerors.
     To cut a long story short: the USA uses the continuing anti-Semitism among the two major, evil religions for its own purposes by making Israel hopelessly dependent on it (and at the same time being able to sell the support of Israel necessary to achieve this dependence as fine philo-Semitism, whereby an attack on or resentment against US imperialism, the only imperialism that still exists and that will soon have the whole world under its yoke, can be loudly pronounced as being sheer anti-Semitism). Uncle Sam can hide his gigantic wrongdoings behind Israel's more modest ones, partly because condemning Israel, even in cases where it would be justified, plays a priori into the hands of all anti-Semites (which must not be allowed to inhibit any possible justified condemnation of Israel by anyone with a sense of justice – that would be really playing in to the hands of mono-imperialism), but most of all because there are then several perpetrators in the world and not just Uncle Sam. Because no people on earth likes being occupied and assassinated by his troops and blackmailed, patronised, plundered and censored by his government, however much their governments and media will reliably celebrate these things and only let off steam in small doses and in the wrong places about them, and yet it is still very pleasant for the imperialistic perpetrators when they are not quite so alone in their crimes. For this reason, Israel is demonstratively excluded from them, its internal freedom not limited, its coffers not plundered and its government not censored. (Which gives many Israelis the feeling of national independence; but this is only a theatrical independence of a world ghetto under a foreign director). And this is paying off for the Americans: it is for the most bestial acts of US imperialism that Israel voluntarily jumps into the breech – recently, for example, it threatened Iran with nuclear radiation – which is what a survivor of Auschwitz recently called »instant Auschwitz« with Hiroshima in mind – so that such hated atrocities do not always have to be committed by the greedy Americans, meaning that the justified hate of their existing and planned victims is not concentrated in the right place but is distributed instead. Israel thus becomes an artificial second front, just as Germany, and perhaps a few of the old NATO states, will become a third – divide et impera! And this will go on for quite a while yet because all the Arab states have not been aligned yet (because they had superficially but primarily for the purpose of their own survival looked to the practically weak and distant Soviet Union, whose destruction was felt immediately and very thoroughly by Iraq first), and China, set to be the next, non-Islamic Iraq in 20 years or so, is still missing from the US map. So it is useful when you are not the sole perpetrator, and the location of Israel alone is a gift from God to Uncle Sam.
     So US imperialism uses anti-Semitism just as the feudal princes once did: whereas the former redirect the hate of the peoples whose national freedom and therefore dignity they are threatening to Israel and eagerly support and secretly encourage Israel in their wrong or even abhorrent actions, the latter forced their Jews to choose between starving to death and taking up the hated jobs of tax collectors or interest extorters – and then took most of what was largely their only source of income (on account of exclusion from the guild and property possession bans) they had earned in this way from them in the form of a »Jew Tax«. Of course, they could have also immediately taxed their Christian subjects themselves for the same amount, but by the use of religion and human stupidity, which could only be driven out by targeted education, it was once again the Jews that were bad, and not the prince. And Israel is now rendering the exact same service to the US imperialists (which leads the paranoid among their enemies to fantasise that the Jews are secretly controlling the US imperialism, while the truth is the exact opposite – by means of the thumbscrew of Israel, which is on America's drip) and, in contrast to the mediaeval and early modern age Jews who utterly detested the horrible tasks forced upon them, it is doing so unpleasantly voluntarily, to which Israel's national sovereignty, which is nourished and provokes the envy of all the other nations, which are treated considerably worse in this regard by the world rulers from Washington, but which nonetheless depends on their favour, is making a considerable contribution. Peace in the Middle East, as Rabin sought to achieve, which would in particular have ended the chronic humiliation of and insults to the Palestinians (symbolised in the form of Israel's refusal to recognise the Palestinian state and its treatment of Arafat in general), would absolutely not have been in the interest of the only extremely allegedly philo-Semitic US imperialism, and although there is no proof that the CIA nudged coincidence along, the assassination of Rabin by an allegedly isolated madman was certainly most useful for the heads and beneficiaries of all CIA activity. Whether Uncle Sam was just incredibly lucky again or just helped his luck, which is really piling up very conspicuously, along – the situation is in any case practically unresolvable. Israel has in any case once and for all missed the time for a peace that would save the faces of both sides, and the constant preference for military rather than morally acceptable solutions does not make its prospects any better at all. But it does improve the prospects of an imperium americanum that encompasses the whole world, is horribly aligned and devoid of any rights, whose installation is already prospering now – see »banking secrecy«, for example! It is a shame that Israel is besmirching itself by aiding this global crime; but no-one at all should aid and abet it, especially its direct or intended victims.
